The Hollow: Sign of Seven, Book 2

For Fox, Caleb, Gage and the other residents of Hawkins Hollow, the number seven portends doom - ever since, as boys, they freed a demon trapped for centuries when their blood spilled upon The Pagan Stone.

STORY - (romance/fantasy/mystery) I enjoyed Key of Light. It's not just a sweet contemporary romance. There is also an interesting Celtic mystery, magic, Gods and a big silly dog. The lead characters are smart, likeable, and their clever banter will make you chuckle.

This is Book #1 of a trilogy, and in each book the characters will be searching for one of three keys which will unlock a magic box and release a soul which has been imprisoned inside for centuries. This is the story of Mallory's search. It comes to a nice conclusion, so the book can stand alone, but you will probably want to continue the trilogy and learn what happens when the other two keys are found.

PERFORMANCE - Susan Ericksen does a great job. She is the same narrator who reads the In Death series, so you will recognize Roarke's voice/accent in one of the characters.

OVERALL - Recommended for romance readers, especially if they might like an ancient mystery mixed in.

The whole story really gets you into this book! I didn't want to stop listening! I listened to this on a five and a half hour drive and I've never been so awake and intune while driving for so long!

What did you like best about this story?

You feel the compassion of these characters, feel their emotions and best of all there's that hint of sarcasm and humor that really keeps this book going!

Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first listen from the narrator Susan Ericksen, I really enjoyed her though I love her Welsh voice!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I've been addicted to this trilogy! I'm a poor college student but I was willing to search under the couch for spare change just so I could see what happened next! This is a book series you never want to end!

Nora Roberts knows how to weave a good yarn. Her character are real. Almost makes one believe in magick ..... Almost.

"good start of another trilogy by nora roberts."

Where does Key of Light rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

at the moment it is on par with her other romantic trilogies.

What other book might you compare Key of Light to, and why?

one of her other trilogies dealing with celtic myths. so far this one is good but it really depends on the third book. I have found the first two books are really good but the third part can be a bit of a let down.

Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I think she narrates all of nora Roberts books and does a good job of performing it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

it held my attention all the way through but you can't listen to a 10 hours book in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

nora Roberts is a very good writer with good characterisation and plot which holds your attention and keeps it there. the only reason I have given it a four star rating is that personally I don't like explicit descriptions of intercourse. in some cases you can't fast play through these scenarios as you could miss something important to the story. also in these scenarios the sex is always fantastic..
